Starting my hosting company. I need help.

[Huhhoo]

Hi there everyone,

So, I am starting a website hosting company which I have spoken about in the past.

I was wondering what people wanted.

Should I use plesk or cpanel?

Pricing:

Okay, so pricing is something I'm not sure of. I'm thinking for a base price:

$2
20 GB storage
Unlimited everything like emails and domains etc.

And for resellers

$15
200 gb of storage
50 accounts

I don't know if this is good or not as I haven't been in website hosting for that long.

I would really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.

Thank you!

Suggestion: Have a budget of at least $300 to start up web hosting. 3 months of a decent dedi and cpanel license for it.

Given that it'd be a start up, I don't think you'd be able to match the cheapest. This seems like a decent start, albeit a little risky.

Who would be the cheapest? Give me some links and I might be able to match it.

Thanks for the reply...! It doesn't really have anything to do with the question.[DOUBLEPOST=1495735203][/DOUBLEPOST]

I'm not sure of links; I believe it's roughly $0.50. If you need any staffing help, hit me up.

I can make that happen.

Starting a hosting company is a serious thing, it isn't a walk in the park. Most come into this industry expecting to make money straight away and that isn't going to happen. Most companies are advised to take into consideration that you probably won't make any profit for at least the first year or two, infact most of the time you'll probably run at a loss or break even so you need to have the funds there initially to support yourself.
